Can't reccomend Johnny enough! As someone who's very anxious I didn't know if this would be something I could do but after one session that anxiety melted away. Johnny is very patient, motivating, kind and extremely knowledgeable. Not only do I learn something new every session but I actually look forward to working out!😂 If you're looking for a life change this is the perfect place to start and I only wish I had found Slim-Gyms sooner!

Having been off work for a year following a serious accident to my leg and shoulder my fitness levels were atrocious. Johnny took the time to do a thorough assessment of my needs, involving my feedback in that process. By having a large stock of machines and free weights he keeps the sessions varied and interesting. He pushes me to do more than I thought I could all the time ensuring my safety by adjusting the excersise and machines to reduce any negative impact on my joints. I cannot recommend slim gyms enough. I know with Johnny I'm already on the road to recovery. More...

I have been training with Jonny at Slim Gyms for a while now and I have been recommending him to all my friends and family. He has an incredibly insightful yet patient approach to training which pushes me to really get the most out of our training sessions. The gym, which is situated in his spacious private garden is immaculate, containing a large variety of different pieces of gym equipment which keeps our sessions varied and engaging. Our training is always varied and specifically tailored to my needs and is all thought out and prepared in advance, all I need do is turn up and follow his instructions. Jonny often states that he desires to have the number one private training facility in the South East and I genuinely believe that he is very close to this goal, if he is not there already. I thoroughly recommend Slim Gyms and Jonny for those that feel like a personalised, tailored service would benefit their training routine and I challenge anyone not to be bolstered by his positive, enthusiastic approach.

I joined Johnny in April. I am so pleased and relieved with the way the sessions have turned out. Johnny is very supportive, tailoring each session to my needs. He provides variety every time, so I don’t get bored or overwork any one area of my body. His knowledge is endless, delivered in a friendly manner, without judging or being condescending. We work very hard during each session, but in a non pressurised atmosphere. I would recommend Johnny to anyone who doesn’t like going to the gym, who needs motivating and encouraging to attain their goals. That’s exactly what he’s doing for me. More...

Johnny is just as invested into my goals as I am. He is patient, knowledgable and knows my capabilities even more than I do. Every session is personal to me and is so positive and refreshing. I’ve experienced many different types of PT sessions historically but the service Johnny provides is the best I’ve experienced yet. Highly recommend Slim-Gyms for a personal training experience More...

Five stars for Johnny- slim gyms. Johnny knows how to push you and finds your limits to help promote muscle growth. He is very professional I find him to be very knowledgeable about strength training and nutrition. The home gym is top quality and there are lots of equipment to use and space to workout in, all within an air conditioning room. I enjoy going. More...

I started seeing Johnny back in December after my motivation had dwindled , i initially thought a few sessions would point me in the right direction and get the motivation back ready for the new year. Four months later and I’m still going twice a week, the sessions are always different and never get boring or predictable. it’s great to still be learning new exercises and seeing the benefits, Johnny is a great support and always knows when I’m capable of more and encourages me to push and work to my full potential, Johnny has provided me with a workout plan for at home and also helped guide on nutrition. I am getting closer to my goals and I’m more motivated than ever. This is a great private modern facility with no one else there training, it’s great to get a full work out and try new things without the usual on lookers, or spending half your time waiting for machines to become available.😁 More...

I initially found Johnny via his FB offer, I’ve been a gym member for many years but after a break due to Covid restrictions & moving house, I’d lost my confidence. Johnny is brilliant, he pushes you but makes it enjoyable, I’ve rekindled my love for regular exercise, he is so knowledgeable & supportive & his studio is wonderful - spacious & well equipped.

If you want superb tailored personal training sessions, this is the place to go. Also excellent in combination with more standard classes / gym membership as Johnny can target specific areas and speed up the journey to meeting your goals.

I’ve had personal trainers over the years in Hampshire . Since moving I started training with Johnny. I can honesty say he is dedicated to fitness and very professional in helping me reach my goal . He understands and listens so every session I am pushed to my limit with different exercises. I can’t praise Johnnys expertise enough as I’ve achieved more in a few sessions than I did in the gym over the past two years . Updating as Johnny has his own huge garden gym building with state of the art equipment. The gym is spacious and great to do workouts still on one to one . It’s definitely the best gym I’ve been to .

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Listening to your client is key. Finding out exactly what they would like to achieve and discussing a realistic timeframe where we can achieve these goals is important too.
The fitness assessment I do on the consultation is essential. It allows me to see the strengths and weaknesses of the client and allows me to be able to design a fitness programme from their test scores.
Once We have the test results we can re do the fitness tests in 4-6 weeks to see the improvements that we have achieved .
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
A combination of challenging and fun workouts with a healthy balanced diet.
What do you love most about your job?
Being able to help people feel better about themselves and make regular exercise part of their lives. Also showing people that exercise can really help with your mental Heath as well as your physical one.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I worked in commercial gyms for many years but felt it was always way to busy and not personal enough. All the equipment was being used and I couldn't give as much attention to the clients as I wanted too. Now I have my own private gym that is not an issue. We have no distractions, no busy gym floor and we can just focus on our training together . More efficient , quicker results.
Why should our clients choose you?
My passion is health and fitness and I would love the opportunity to help you make exercise part of your daily life. I have been a trainer now for nearly 18 years and have trained many different types of people reach their fitness goals. With my knowledge and passion of fitness I know I can help you too.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes I also provide online training sessions via zoom. Wheather you have lots or no equipment it doesnt matter.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
All equipment is wiped down with dettol wipes after every session . Hand sanatiser must be used before and after every session also.
